Now that the Qing army defending the city has surrendered and the battle is over, the remaining thing is how to make the receiving troops of the Eight-Nation Coalition successfully save people.

Changsha is a large provincial capital, and the wharf into the Xiangjiang River is also deep and wide, and many surrendered Qing troops loyally escorted the emperor to the wharf, and then put on a show there.

That appearance is to be chased and killed by the heavenly army, and flee in a hurry.

However, instead of the Celestial Army, they were surrounded by Manchu troops, who were desperately trying to resist the pursuing Celestial Army.

The Celestial Army had already won the siege, but the battle was not over, so only some of them pursued the fleeing enemy, and it is likely that they did not know who the fleeing was.

It was against this background that the Eight-Nation Coalition came to its death.

This posture was placed there after the negotiation was over, and Xianfeng and the others were ready, but the enemy ship had not yet appeared, and everyone was chatting there, especially in the place where the Heavenly Army and the Qing Army were crossed, it was even more lively.

It wasn't until the lookout post sent out informed everyone that the enemy ship had appeared in the distance that everyone began to act, and everyone acted according to their role.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise, guns and cannons rang out, and crossbow arrows flew all over the sky!

On the surface of the Xiangjiang River north of Changsha, a large number of warships floated over like a dark cloud!

At this time, they have reached the top speed, and the visual inspection is not less than 60 kilometers per hour!

At this time, the shore defense artillery arranged by the Heavenly Army on both sides of the Xiangjiang River opened fire together, which was a real fight!

Although the Celestial Army will not stop them from coming, it is no problem to inflict casualties on them.

Especially at this time, there are no people who have surrendered falsely, and they have no scruples about shooting guns and firing guns.

The commander-in-chief of the Eight-Nation Coalition Fleet, Gu Duta, was also not polite and ordered all the warships to return fire!

At the same time, everyone was strictly ordered to speed up and move forward, and not to entangle with those people on the shore.

The fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance, which had not done much to smoke and spitt fire, approached the dock of the Xiangjiang River, and in the rain of bullets, those Qing troops covered the emperor on board.

There were also about a hundred people accompanying him, including Zeng Guofan, Sixth Master and other ministers.

The ancient capital tower did not delay for a moment, and regardless of whether the officials and soldiers on the shore also wanted to accompany him, he immediately ordered the boat to leave.

At this time, the other ships of the entire fleet were engaged in the battle with the Celestial Army, and they were moored on both sides of the Xiangjiang River, leaving a road in the middle for the flagships carrying Xianfeng and others to pass.

Subsequently, the warships that came with them quickly turned around and followed the flagship back to Dongting Lake.

The quality of the soldiers of these fleets is indeed extremely high, and they advance and retreat in an orderly manner, without any disorder, and while fighting back against the harassment of the heavenly army, they quickly retreat.

Mai Ke watched them go away, leaving all the follow-up affairs here to Feng Yunshan and the others to deal with, but he himself flew to Dongting Lake to watch the final battle.

There were Zhang Yuan, Liuhua, and Yang Breed who accompanied him.

On the way, when I talked about Xianfeng's final decision, I couldn't help but sigh.

However, it is easy to understand that Xianfeng did this and died to atone for the sins of their ancestors, but Zeng Guofan and the sixth master, no one thought of it.

They didn't have to be buried with them, but they went!

While I feel incredible, I can't help but admire.

McKee flew with the fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and supervised whether they were playing tricks halfway, and if they were not normal, he had to inform Peter to adjust his tactics.

If there is no accident, according to the original plan, wait for these people to enter the big net.

In fact, these coalition commanders did not think that if they returned to Dongting Lake, they would inevitably encounter trouble, and the Heavenly Army was likely to attack them in groups.

But they really didn't feel particularly serious, because since they started fighting with the three fleets of the Celestial Army, they had never suffered a single defeat.

Even if the situation is not good, they can still retreat, can there be anyone in the world who can stop them?

They still drove at full speed along the way, this time they were familiar with the road, and it only took 50 minutes to complete the entire section of the Xiangjiang River from Changsha to Dongting Lake, and once again entered Dongting Lake.

The Yamamoto Thirty-six, who was guarding the mouth of the Xiangjiang River, completed the task, also collected the fleet, and followed the brigade to drive his fleet into the depths of Dongting Lake.

Even then, Maiko instructed all fleets of the Celestial Army to stay put!

Because according to the plan, this stage is exclusive to Xianfeng and a few of them.

On the flagship of the Commander-in-Chief of the Coalition Forces, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ancient Capital Tower, the commanders of the eight fleets were all gathered together for a ceremony that was performed at the request of Emperor Xianfeng.

It was Emperor Xianfeng who fulfilled the promise that these reinforcements successfully saved him, and first allocated the territory that was awarded to them.

When everyone arrived, Xianfeng ordered: "Carry it up!"

Those foreigners didn't know what was going on, and they all watched with wide eyes as the four of them brought up a thing.

Xianfeng ordered them to put this thing in the middle and uncover the white cloth on it.

When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be a sand table!

On the sand table are eight small flags, each with the name of a country, a map on the other, and several place names.

Those foreigners still don't know why, does this emperor want to give us a military lesson?

Don't be kidding! You have to understand military affairs, and you won't let us save you!

At this time, Xianfeng uncovered the mystery: "This is the territory I promised you, the national flag of each family represents your territory is there, now we hold a ceremony, the flag pulling ceremony, each of you pulls out your own national flag, it means that you have received your own reward, from today on, that land belongs to you!"

The interpreters of each family relayed Xianfeng's words to their commanders, and they all looked excited, and seemed very curious about this new form, and they were all eager to try it.

Xianfeng wanted to call two important ministers to help him hold down the sand table, and both of them had also introduced them to the commanders of various countries, knowing that the two were also high-ranking officials with high power, so that they could feel the grandeur and sacredness of this ceremony.

The eight commanders stepped forward together, regardless of the size, according to Xianfeng's command, each holding the flagpole with one hand, and listening to Xianfeng's order to pull it out together!

Xianfeng looked solemn, closed his eyes for a moment, then raised his eyes to the sky, and shouted in a deep voice: "All pay attention, pull out!"

Everyone worked hard at the same time, and all eight small flags were raised.

The crowd cheered!

Suddenly, the ancient capital tower smelled a slight smell, something was wrong!

That's gunpowder!

But it's too late!

That sand table exploded with a bang, and everything within a radius of one foot turned into powder!

Xianfeng, Zeng Guofan, Liuye and the eight commanders of the Eight-Nation Alliance are all gone!

When the more than 100 people who came with them saw this ending, they were inexplicably sad and indignant, and they all killed the surrounding coalition officers and soldiers!

Those people are also very murderous, although there is no commander, but their morale is not reduced, and they vent their murderous intentions on these people.

Both sides fought for their lives, and after a while, all Xianfeng's entourage died.

The number of the enemy who was slain was two hundred, and one of them a great man who killed a man was not counted, and he who died at his hand alone was a hundred.

Mai Ke knows this person, he is the chief of the guard of Zeng Guofan, Kang Fu!

McCor also knew what was going on with that sand table.

It was prepared by him at the request of Xianfeng, and eight large grenades were installed in it.
